This podcast explores the heart of teaching and what that means to educators who are experts in their fields and passionate about their role. We talk to people about the teachers who inspired them to get where they are now, what they love about teaching, what they find challenging, and what they would like to change (if they had a magic wand!).

Writing Magical Stories
From the age of six, Jackie Morris wanted to be an artist. Her very first children's book was Jo’s Storm, and since then, she has authored and illustrated many, many more. I came across Jackie first as an illustrator when my son was given a beautiful gift of The Lost Spells.
There's something incredibly magical and captivating about Jackie's work. So I went in search of more. I bought Mrs Noah's Pockets and Mrs Noah's Garden which were written by Jackie and now I'm hooked. She speaks all about her books and how best they can be used in the classroom.
